species; none of my fliivialis measure over 0.52 inch. Dr. Horn gives. 

 this and the preceding species as 0.50 inch long (ante.) 



Oodcs cuprcEiis (Chaiid.) 



Several specimens taken by Mr. Trabrandt. I have found this species - 

 pretty common near St. Louis, Mo., on baling water over mud flats. They 

 take flight very readily, and may be found running on the ground on warm 

 days, but I have never been able to find them or Lecojitei remain under 

 water longer than most Carabidse. The La. specimen before me is greatly 

 mutilated, and I am reluctant to give its measurement. The Missouri 

 species give 0.40 inch long. 



Oodes Lecontei (Chaud.) 



Length, ^ ,0.36 inch ;$ ,0.40 inch. Not rare. Many specimens taken 

 under logs near water on bailing near the shore; also running on the ground 

 in July and August. It is a more robust species than cupraeus, less shining 

 and with punctured striae. A single specimen taken somewhere on the 

 coast of Miss., during the stoppage of steamer to ''wood up," in June. 



Oodcs 14-striaius (Chaud.) 



Length, 0.42--0. 47 inch. Common everywhere near N. O. during the- 

 summer; found under logs and running on the ground near water, and 

 frequently under loose bark in the woods. The specimens have a 

 decidedly greenish tinge when alive. They are not as active as the Oodes 

 and Stenous groups. Mr. Trabrandt informs me that they do not occur 

 abundantly every year. They are also found in Texas and Mexico. 



Oodes texamis, Lee. • 



Length, 0.42 inch — ^. A single specimen taken by C. Trabrandt 

 while collecting together, and given me as a 14-striatus, from which it is at 

 once distinguished by the punctured stride. The specimen occurred under 

 some rail-road ties on the Ponchartrain R. R., on high ground, not near 

 water. Dilligent search has sinced failed to discover others. 



Evolcues impressus, Lee. 



Length, 0.37 inch — %. A single specimen taken near New Orleans - 

 and given me by Mr. Em. Trochammur. This is the rarest Oodii occurring 

 in La. Any enlargement on descriptions of species would seem out of 

 place, but would refer all to Dr. Horn's admirable and complete synopsis- 

 in Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, Vol. 3, Nc. 2, 1870.
